for stand of the administration by sloane gordon special cablo to tha examiner havana aug 3 senor jose miguel gomez cuba's alert and energetic presi dent took occasion to-day to present his compliments through the examiner to the people of the united states and to express with great rigor and directness isis views regarding the relations between his coun try and the great american republic he laid particular stress on the false reports so widely circulated in the united states recently to the effect that there is either need or proper demand for anisri can intervention that revolution is immi nent and that disaster is afoot in cuba senor gomez is uot given to loquacity he has treated the charges made agaiust his administration with silent contempt and has consistently refused to dsgnlfy at tacks made upon him with denial the marvelous strides made by cuba com mercially and otherwise under his ad ministration have been sufficient answer he believes to criticism bot i,e _ petnt cious activities of those who ha r e recently circulated reports inimical to sjuba in the united states have aroused senor gomez and caused him to abanuoc the policy of silence i feel said he that it is due to cuba and the cuban people that circu lated reports and inspire falsehoods that have gained currency in th united states should be denied and some false impres sions that may have been made corrected and i am glad of the opportunity to speak to the american people through the ex aminer gomez very human a i met the president this afternoon b appointment in his ofiice in the

expressive gestures so much a part of thss language of latin peoples i am not concerned declared the president after the usual exchange of pre liminary courtesies with t':e many stories that have been circulated for attacks made upon me i care nothing i sincerely regret the attacks upon cuba the cuban nation and the cuban people it appears to have become almost fashionable to send forth alarmist reports about cuba i can readily andersland that one not posts^d as to actual conditions on the island might be led to believe that cuba is in a state of turmoil there are several elements to be con

culated in the united states . foreign capital welcome but it will come slowly he declares in face of the alarmist reports views washington as friendly and praises president Taft and secretary knox for stand of the administration by sloane gordon special cablo to tha examiner havana aug 3 senor jose miguel gomez cuba's alert and energetic presi dent took occasion to-day to present his compliments through the examiner to the people of the united states and to express with great rigor and directness isis views regarding the relations between his coun try and the great american republic he laid particular stress on the false reports so widely circulated in the united states recently to the effect that there is either need or proper demand for anisri can intervention that revolution is immi nent and that disaster is afoot in cuba senor gomez is uot given to loquacity he has treated the charges made agaiust his administration with silent contempt and has consistently refused to dsgnlfy at tacks made upon him with denial the marvelous strides made by cuba com mercially and otherwise under his ad ministration have been sufficient answer he believes to criticism bot i,e _ petnt cious activities of those who ha r e recently circulated reports inimical to sjuba in the united states have aroused senor gomez and caused him to abanuoc the policy of silence i feel said he that it is due to cuba and the cuban people that circu lated reports and inspire falsehoods that have gained currency in th united states should be denied and some false impres sions that may have been made corrected and i am glad of the opportunity to speak to the american people through the ex aminer gomez very human a i met the president this afternoon b appointment in his ofiice in the

circulated for attacks made upon me i care nothing i sincerely regret the attacks upon cuba the cuban nation and the cuban people it appears to have become almost fashionable to send forth alarmist reports about cuba i can readily andersland that one not posts^d as to actual conditions on the island might be led to believe that cuba is in a state of turmoil there are several elements to be con sidered in analyzing this absurd talk of intervention continued the president after a pause cupidity malice envy deceit stupid ity and the greatest of thesr is cupidity the woeful absurdity of it all is mad plain by the most casual glance at cuba'e progress her rapid and substantial ad vancement her awakened realization of the illimitatlle resources of the island is there trouble heref only in the
